    The document discusses inheritance laws for females in India. It references court cases establishing that under Section 14, a widow has full and unrestricted ownership of her deceased husband's separate property. Section 15 outlines the order of inheritance if a female dies intestate, with her children and husband first in line, followed by her and her husband's legal heirs, then her father's heirs and her own heirs. The scheme does not apply if the property was received from her in-laws or husband, in which case it goes to the husband's heirs in the absence of children. The Family Law Reform Committee proposed reforms in 2018 as the current laws promote patriarchy and lack rationale.
